Australia is looking at outfitting its in-service Collins-class submarines with Tomahawk land attack cruise missiles as part of their forthcoming Life of Type Extension (LOTE).

The Royal Australian Navy, L3Harris, and Austal will convert the recently decommissioned patrol boat, HMAS Maitland, into an autonomous patrol boat.

On April 18, Austal welcomed Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison MP to the company's shipyard in Henderson, Western Australia, where he announced that the Department of Defence will order two more Evolved Cape Class Patrol Boats (ECCPB) for the Royal Australian Navy, valued at $124 million.

Austal announced that Austal Australia has delivered the first of six Evolved Cape-class Patrol Boats (ECCPB’s) to the Royal Australian Navy.
